Franco is calling the rare occurrence an act of God, and neurosurgeon John Afshar, who performed the surgery, said it was a “true miracle.”

However, he did offer an explanation as to why Franco’s vision was suddenly restored: “Mrs. Franco’s vision was impaired from her accident 20 years ago and it could have been a result of the artery being kinked, and then when we performed the surgery itself, we unknowingly probably unkinked that vessel reestablishing blood flow and, therefore, she could have regained her vision.”

Not only can she see again, but she can see in color.

That’s right, Franco said she was colorblind her whole life.

With 20/50 vision and the color to back it up, Franco is looking forward to seeing her grandchildren, her family, and everything else life has to offer.
